Although Zhu Yuanzhang is very capable, what he can do alone is limited after all. As his power expands, he needs a large number of talents to use him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was actually a very courteous and virtuous person.
After Zhu Yuanzhang secured the territory near Dingyuan Chuzhou, although he did not expand outward in a big way, Zhu Yuanzhang cultivated the land intensively.
Many talents from other places also came to join him. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's number of generals increased by many.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also had several advisers, and Zhu Sheng was the most important one among them.
Zhu Sheng also came here because of his reputation and defected to Zhu Yuanzhang. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zhu Sheng seemed to be a quite ordinary scholar.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally knew the nine-character mantra, so he felt that just hearing Zhu Sheng say it again would have no other effect.
But after Zhu Yuanzhang met Zhu Sheng and had a conversation with Zhu Sheng, Zhu Yuanzhang's idea completely changed.
how to say? The nine-character mantra that Zhu Sheng gave him was to build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly. It was a very close whole.
In other words, only if you can do well in all three aspects and persevere can you lay a very solid foundation for your final victory.
These three cannot be ignored and must be paid attention to. Among them, building walls high and accumulating grain widely are methods, and slowing down to become king is strategy.
Nowadays, many rebel leaders in various parts of China have begun to claim kingship, but as long as these small groups of rebels have become kings, they have been wiped out one by one by the Tatars of the Yuan Dynasty.
Although the combat effectiveness of these king-proclaimed rebels is still good, compared with Yuanting Dazi's regular army, they still have many shortcomings.
Mainly Yuanting's commander, Tuotuo Temu'er, is really awesome.
It can be said that if Yuan Ting gave enough trust to this Toto Timur, then it can be said that people like Zhu Yuanzhang are not the opponents of this Toto Timur at all.
However, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was really a very stupid emperor. He actually listened to Greedy's words and actually killed Totto Timur.
Of course, this is something for later. Zhu Yuanzhang is waiting for Zhu Sheng at this moment.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang heard the story of Zhu Sheng told in books in later generations, but the book told it too briefly, so Zhu Yuanzhang still did not pay enough attention to Zhu Sheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not change his mind until he met Zhu Sheng himself. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this Zhu Sheng was really amazing.
So he actually talked with Zhu Sheng for a whole day and night!
What is the concept? When Mr. Li Shanchang came, Zhu Yuanzhang did not spend a whole day and night with Li Shanchang.
Zhu Yuanzhang only said a few words at that time. If nothing happened, Zhu Yuanzhang would not go to Li Shanchang under normal circumstances.
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang met Zhu Sheng, he actually spent the whole night talking with Zhu Sheng.
You can see how bad Zhu Sheng's words are towards Zhu Yuanzhang, and it also shows how powerful Zhu Sheng's communication skills are!
In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang only thought that the nine-character mantra proposed by Zhu Sheng was just a statement, and did not think that all the essence was in these nine words.
But after Zhu Yuanzhang knew other things, he realized that these nine words were a summary.
What really means is that in order to do these nine words well, your other things are the most important. After all, you can only do other things well, and then you will prepare the conditions for the realization of these nine words.
How should I put it, the nine-character mantra Zhu Sheng said is not a kind of cowardice, it is a strategy.
That means starting to absorb their own strength, and then, after their other strengths have weakened, they will then enter the world's struggle for hegemony, eliminate their opponents in one fell swoop, and dominate the world!
Zhu Yuanzhang was very in favor of the plan mentioned by Mr. Zhu Sheng.
After all, this plan is really a plan that is very consistent with historical conditions.
It can be said that it is much more complicated than what Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought!
If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't heard Zhu Sheng speak well after meeting Zhu Sheng, then Zhu Yuanzhang would have paid very little attention to this nine-character mantra.
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang was in Chuzhou City and paid a private visit incognito. He saw a child begging on the street.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know who the child was, but he went to call the child over and let the child have a full meal.
After the child had eaten, he insisted on worshiping Zhu Yuanzhang as his adoptive father.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood at the moment. After the child had eaten, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the child, "What is your name?"
"My name is Guo Ying!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Guo Ying's words, he really felt that this was a coincidence.
If Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a good mood at this moment, he would not treat this little beggar to a meal here. Now after finishing the meal, he discovered that this person turned out to be Guo Ying.
Guo Ying is a few years older than Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Biao, so they can become good playmates.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Guo Ying must be a child at this time, so he grew up well.
When Guo Ying grows up, it will be a great help to Zhu Yuanzhang, but at this time, Guo Ying is just Zhu Biao's playmate.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with this.
After all, he always felt that his son Zhu Biao was really lonely at this time.
After having Guo Ying, Zhu Biao's life will be much better. He has a little friend who he can talk to!
Zhu Biao was already three years old at this time. It can be seen that this time passed too fast, which was beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination.
Although he also knew that his days of living uncontested here were coming to an end, and he was about to join the historical drama of fighting for hegemony in the world.
Some things are other people's business, so Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely do well and seize this opportunity so that he can get it and he should win.
Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at a military map in his room that day.
Let's put it this way, these military maps now pose no difficulty to Zhu Yuanzhang at all.
After all, through Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work, he could already see the military map clearly.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, these mountains and rivers were where he would go in the future.
But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang is still continuing to implement this strategy, building walls high and accumulating grain widely.
This is the path for Zhu Yuanzhang in the future.
